Hong Kong swimming pools provide a welcome respite from the heat and noise of city streets, and are blessed to boast several breathtaking poolside destinations – from rooftop pools in Mongkok to indoor ones at Victoria Harbour – offering respite from heat, noise, or simply providing space to unwind with a book or swim laps. No matter your taste there is sure to be an ideal pool to suit you in Hong Kong!

These pools, with their sleek designs, stunning views and luxurious amenities are the perfect complement to any staycation experience. Unfortunately, hotel guests typically only have access to them; however some also host summer events to allow outsiders to come enjoy these incredible waters as well as their amazing surroundings.

Hotel Icon boasts two elegant pool areas for you to choose from, including its breathtaking rooftop infinity pool with stunning city skyline and Victoria Harbour views. This heated pool features bottom-to-ceiling windows as well as bottom-to-ceiling mirrored ceilings and LED walls that create cool illusions – you can even swim underwater and listen to music while doing laps!

Island Shangri-La’s stunning indoor pool is also an exquisite work of art, complete with its signature striped lounge chairs and timeless Gatsby vibe. A truly grand sight and ideal way to spend your morning or afternoon!

If you’re moving to Hong Kong, be sure to investigate its swimming pool facilities when selecting your new neighborhood. Larger developments with multiple towers typically boast at least one 50-metre outdoor and one smaller indoor pool; smaller single tower developments may offer smaller outdoor pools that aren’t designed for lap swimming but provide fun playground space for children to play in.

Hong Kong is experiencing a severe lifeguard shortage, prompting authorities to consider outsourcing lifeguard services at six public swimming pools. Lawmakers have expressed concern that outsourcing might lead to lower standards of safety for swimmers; however Raistlin Lau Chun from Leisure and Cultural Services Department’s undersecretary stated that previous trials involving outsourcing management of public pools have had mixed results.
